PRODUCT SAFETY WARNINGS
steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or
injury.
5. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below:
a. Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers encircling
the chainsaw handles, with both hands on the saw and
position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by
the operator, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let
go of the chain saw.
b. Do not overreach. This helps prevent unintended tip
contact and enables better control of the chain saw in
unexpected situations.
c. Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer. Incorrect replacement bars and chains may
cause chain breakage and/or kickback.
d. Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain. Decreasing the depth
gauge height can lead to increased kickback.
e. The first time user should request an experienced
operator in the use of the chainsaw and the protective
equipment, and should have initial practice cutting logs
on a saw horse or cradle.
f. In the interest of personal safety it is highly
recommended:
when using the chain saw always use it with residual
current device (RCD) 30 mA or less.
